What’s in a name?
Comedienne, star,
activist, entrepreneur, daughter, wife, mother … just some of the
‘titles’ that come to mind when you think about this early
trailblazer for women in radio and television. One-half of one of
the most prominent comedy teams in American history, Gracie still
serves as a role model for today’s women in media and entertainment.
For 57 years, AWRT has served as the voice and resource for women
in the electronic media. And for more than three decades, the
Foundation of AWRT has been a leader in celebrating and honoring
programming created for women, by women and about women, as well as
individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the industry.
The Gracies strive to encourage the realistic and faceted portrayal
of women in entertainment, commercials, news, features and other
programs.
National winners will be honored at the Gracies Gala on
May 28, 2008 at the New York Marriott Marquis. Local markets, public
and student award winners will be honored at the Gracies Luncheon on
May 29, 2008 at Tavern on the Green.
